Controller Request: NES Powerglove

Can we get compatibility with the NES Powerglove? There are so few games that offer this today and I think FFXIV would really benefit from it. If not in a patch, at least 2.0, please.

Hey,
Where did you get an adapter for plug in your powerglove into your PC? I couldn't find one so we just engineered here at work one instead.

on a related note... why did the power glove never catch on as a controller type... I'd prefer that to Wiimotes

Did you ever try to play a game with the PG? When it worked, it was very terrible.

Never really played it... just thought it was a cool concept.. surely it could have been refined by now

Hell, I thought the original Nintendo Zapper™ was a better design than Wiimotes

Ahh, useless pieces of innovative technology. Anyone remember the NES Advantage? That thing weighed almost as much as the console.

That kid from the Wizard in the video someone posted who said, "I love the Power Glove, it's so bad" He eventually molested children and now is a registered sex offender. But he didn't go to jail only got 10 year probation.

Surely there must be a way to model it on your DA page.

Just the glove is fine.

Being old enough to actually have used them before I'll tell you the reason it never caught on was because it was a total piece of goat s***. It's so bad.. SOOO BAD.. You have no idea how bad. I don't know how Nintendo who is usually a quality company ever considered putting something like that out. Everyone who ever paid for one should sue Fred Savage and the Wizard for false advertisement.

The NES Advantage was pretty good though for some games..

hahaha... I was definitely into NES but I never tried the glove... Is that the reason controllers remained relatively unchanged (Except for adding analogs) from NES to 7th Gen?

Pretty much. My friend had this one for n64:

and we used to use it in smash bros. against new players, since it handicapped you pretty terribly.
